This request for conditional clearance will enable the National Endowment for the Arts (“the Arts Endowment”) to pilot test and eventually implement a web survey that will be used to support performance reporting on the career benefits to U.S. artists who receive grants to travel and perform abroad. This package requests the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) conditional clearance for pilot testing. Upon OMB receipt of the pilot testing results, we will request full clearance for the annual survey, as advised by the Arts Endowment OMB desk officer. The Arts Endowment’s Office of International Activities provides opportunities for U.S. artists to participate in global arts events by partnering with U.S. regional arts organization Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation on the USArtists International (USAI) program, as well as through several other partnerships and activities. The USAI program is the largest of the Arts Endowment’s efforts supporting artists’ travel and performances abroad and therefore was selected for this work because it will provide the largest sample of respondents, allowing the Arts Endowment to measure the impacts an international exchange program can have on artists’ careers. The Arts Endowment will pilot test and eventually implement an annual, web-based census survey of USAI grantees that will provide the Arts Endowment with evidence of the program’s benefits to artists’ professional careers. The web survey data will support performance reporting on the Arts Endowment’s fiscal year (FY) 2018‒2022 Strategic Plan, which seeks to gather evidence to show “Arts Endowment-supported international exchanges have a demonstrable benefit on the careers of participating American artists” (Performance Goal 3.3.3). The annual data collection will provide evidence in response to the associated performance indicator (3.3.3.1), “The percentage of American artists that report benefits of their participation in NEA-supported international exchanges.” The survey will focus on benefits to artists’ professional opportunities, professional networks, professional skills and learning, reputations, and creativity. The survey is designed to take approximately 8 minutes and asks 24 questions, with skip patterns.
